Lens correction with integrated lens profile from raw file

Hello,

recently I have a Nikon D780. Apparently, the raw files include an "built-in lens profile", with which LR automatically performs the lens corrections. In the section Lens Corrections of the Develop module it says as an info text: "This raw file contains a built-in lens profile for correcting distortion... The profile has already been applied automatically to this image".

Unfortunately, it is not possible to switch off this correction with the values provided by Nikon in order to alternatively apply the profile that is provided by LR.

I would like to use the LR corrections, because with my old camera (D750) they were always better than those of Nikon.

If you select the LR corrections anyway, there is actually an overcompensation of the lens errors.

Does anyone know if there is any way to turn off this automatic lens correction with the lens profile embedded in the raw file and apply the LR corrections?

Thank you very much for your support!!!

You can't turn off the built-in lens profile from inside LR. There is a way to disable it by modifying the NEF, which I don't recommend. What specifically is wrong with the D780 built-in lens corrections? Knowing that I might be able to makes some suggestions.

Hello,

thank you for your quick answer!

In my opinion, the corrections are simply not as good as those of LR or DxO. This applies to both the correction of distortion and the correction of vignetting. I would have to correct manually with the sliders, whereas I never have to with the LR corrections.

So if you knew a way to manipulate the raw files, I would be very interested and would like to try it out!

Thanks for your support!
